Baba's Here, and the Eating Is Easy

My dad came to town this weekend for Sania's second birthday, kite flying and lots of delicious dining. It kicked off with Reid and Baba tossing a few steaks on the grill and having a barbecue Friday night as we enjoyed the end of a week of beautiful weather.

Saturday was kites and koshari. Unfortunately, kite-flying duties and generic forgetfulness conspired to leave me lacking photos of the actual kite-work. Reid was excited until he got bored, and Sania had a great time though it is unclear whether she understood that the string she was holding was connected to an actual flying object. She mostly just squealed with delight and tore around the grass where we found some wind and got to flying. K would exhort her to run in one direction to get the kite up, and Sania would gleefully run the wrong way, hysterically scanning the sky for whatever we were all pointing at while the kite crashed earthward elsewhere. Good times.

Koshari and tahini made everybody feel better. Reid made about four meals (including dinner tonight) out of just tahini and pita. I don't see anything wrong with that. Click the link above for a few pictures from this weekend.
